I love my new dell laptop with a new wireless mouse from Microsoft. There is a lot to learn about windows 8.1 but it seems to have a lot of capabilities.
Dang, ran into a problem. Trying to download drivers for my somewhat older hp deskjet f4580 printer for my dell. Windows 8.1 I've tried it two different ways and it gets to a point and says it can't find the file. I click ok and then nothing. Don't know what to do?

HP packages sometimes just dump the driver into a C drive folder (usually C:\SWSetup) instead of actually installing anything - when it asks for the driver click browse and go to that folder, see if there's anything there it can use.
That won't happen if you download the printer software package (suite or whatever) though.
The impact of these changes are quite significant. The start button solves major problems where users couldn't figure out how to open apps. There's a lot of little changes related to settings that make it so much easier to accomplish common tasks. For example, shutting down no longer requires you to drill down into the charms menu 4 levels. There's a lot of little things, that are perhaps more IA changes than UI changes, that improve the UX significantly.
I'll disagree there. I don't think finding your apps was ever a big problem in Windows 8.
